In 2008, a charismatic right-wing populist Republican governor won the heart of the party's base despite being forced to take a backseat to a more respectable "moderate" Republican. He was Mike Huckabee, and he is sad, and mad.

On paper he was the perfect candidate.

He lost me when he said that it was unchristian to oppose illegal immigration.

[a fool in paradise]

He lost me when he said that it was unchristian to oppose illegal immigration.

If it is unChristian to oppose illegal immigration, then every other nation in the world is unChristian in this regard.

Christ also said to give your cloak as well as your money over to a thief who asks for your money.

It is hard to live in that world. Government should not set policy to "ignore the laws" and our own particular form of government is prohibited from engaging in legal practices, whether they be tolerating illegal immigration or forcing nationalized healthcare, "because it is Christian to do so".

He lost me when he said that it was unchristian to oppose illegal immigration.

Didn't know he said that - he's wrong. We are to obey the laws of the land - illegal is 'illegal'. Moreso, if he's going to toot his 'Christian' side - Christians stand up for what is right. He did not do that when it came to Doug Hoffman until two days before. He took the 'political' cover.

So Huckster - you are, merely, a Christian when it's convenient and doesn't interfere with your hopes of rising in the 'political' arena. And, even in the political arena you are WEAK, WEAK!!

Revelation 3:16
Be hot or cold but if you are lukewarm I will spew you out of my mouth!
